3. Bush went beyond this.
Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 07:44 AM by Eugene
FISA is a secret court and a permissive court, but it is still a court
that issues warrants. Even a secret wiretap needs court approval.
Bush asserts that his wartime powers allow him to bypass the courts altogether.

The ruling gave Bush sweeping power, but that wasn't enough for him.
